The Atomic City

The film 'The Atomic City' was released by Paramount Pictures in 1952. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a renewal filed in the 28th year of their first term to maintain protection. This film's initial copyright registration was LP1715, filed on May 1, 1952. Research into the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) confirms that Paramount Pictures Corporation successfully renewed the copyright. The renewal registration is RE044390, filed on January 16, 1980. Because the renewal was properly filed, the film's copyright term was extended to a total of 95 years from the date of publication. As a result of this valid renewal, the film remains under copyright protection in the United States and is not scheduled to enter the public domain until January 1, 2048 (the end of the 95th year following 1952). The film is currently actively licensed and has seen recent commercial releases, further corroborating its protected status.
